Needs advice on what prog to use
Hi guys, I am planning to buy an antivirus & antispyware product for my mini-office, please help me decide on what brand is the best. For now, I am thinking of Mcafee's Total Protection (12 in 1). Thanks.

AVG/Avast for Antivirus, and SuperAntiSpyware pro for spyware
Very easy to update and use programs, also very effective. Mcafee is a bit more of a memory hog then the other programs I listed.

Norton 360. Why?
Mcafee --
daily
updates, poor detection and disinfection, huge memory footprint. imagine running with 100 lbs attached to your back.
AVG --
OK
Tried it. Did not detect trojan.vundo
Avast --
OK
, not top-tier detection rates, somewhat big memory footprint
Norton 360 -- CNET's editor choice, PC World's pick, the list goes on....
Mini-office? I picked up 3 licenses of Norton 360 at my local Computer store for 20 bucks after rebate. Small memory footprint, comprehensive protection.......
